N-Dimension provides Cyber Security Solutions for critical infrastructure operators that address today's increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks and increasing complex compliance regulations. The company has established a leading position in the North American Electric Utility market focused primarily on the over 2,200 public power companies and 900 cooperatives. The company has also been successful in establishing several key strategic relationships including HD Supply (largest distributor to the Utility industry), Hometown Connections, Quanta Technology, Survalent and a large U.S defense company.
"We have been looking for a Cyber Security investment for several years and we are very excited to have found and closed our investment in N-Dimension. The global opportunity for Cyber Security solutions for both the grid and other critical infrastructure assets (water, oil and gas and transportation) represents a significant market opportunity. There are mounting global concerns surrounding the protection of critical infrastructure from cyber attacks and the N-Dimension solution helps mitigate these risks and protect critical assets. We are pleased to be joined by co-investor EDC, who will be extremely helpful as the company expands on a global basis." said Wally Hunter, Managing Director EnerTech Capital.
"Energy is a sector of substantial growth worldwide, and Canadian companies providing critical services that enhance or protect energy investments have the opportunity to become global leaders," said Eugene Siklos, Lead Investment Manager, EDC. "Nurturing Canadian global companies is an important part of what we do at EDC, and we are proud to have partnered with EnerTech Capital to support N- Dimension's management team in implementing an aggressive business plan to address cyber security and enable safe and secure smart grids."
"EnerTech's significant experience and background in the Power and Energy industries combined with the strategic global market experience of EDC will provide significant value add and help build the company as we expand over the next several years." said Doug Westlund, CEO of N-Dimension Solutions.
With the recent first closing on its fourth fund (EnerTech Capital Partners IV L.P.), EnerTech is continuing its strong focus on the significant energy related opportunities in North America and N- Dimension fits squarely in the strategic focus areas within its latest fund.
